Four Corners of Life
I dreamt I saw an angel
just outside my window pane;
I could see her glowing face
through the lightly falling rain.
I jumped up from my warm bed
and broke free from my dream,
But when I looked out again
she was nowhere to be seen.
I've looked down a gravel road
which was covered by fresh snow,
I'm sure it called out to me
but I had no plans to go.
Sometimes at night I'll look back,
just every now and then,
To see the roads not travelled
and I'll wonder what might have been.
Loves had come and loves had gone
quickly through one's youth it seemed,
Many now are but shadows
of those on whom I leaned.
When young the burdens seems hard
while one's lost and torn apart
And like so many others,
I've lived through a broken heart.
Yet, age brings us something else
and so oft' we're unaware,
There's so many little things
for which we don't need to care.
Memories will come and go
and at times unannounced,
In the end what's in our hearts
is the only thing that counts.
